Take a deep breath in.
Inhale the words
That just rolled off his lips,
The carbon dioxide-filled lies
Take in the substance
That feeds your hungry mind

Let it circulate.
Spread to your heart,
Rush through your veins
The thrill of the burn
Is worth all the pain because,
You can feel something

Now exhale everything.
Expel the poison from your lungs
And the disease that is him
Cough up every remnant of the acid
Repress the memories of toxic touch
Cleanse yourself before he kills you

Then breath in again.
